The Biomedical Research Institute (BRI) of FORTH at Ioannina was founded in 1998 as an independent institute. In 2001, BRI joined the Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH) becoming its seventh Institute. BRI consists of 18 research teams that comprise of 140 members (postdoctoral students, PhD candidates, post- and undergraduate students, technicians, administrating personnel). The groups of BRI work in basic molecular and cellular biology areas of biomedical research with high interest in public health and biomedicine, such as vascular biology, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, cancer biology, neurobiology, and biomedical technology.
